Psalms 22


2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי:

7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם:
8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ:
9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ:
10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי:
11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה:
12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי:
14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג:
15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי:
16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי:
17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי:
18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי:
19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל:
20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה:
23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ:
24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל:

YESHUA, THE NEW HUSBAND/COVENANT

 I Have a friend whose covenant husband just died, she is now remarried to a new wonderful husband that actually set her free in ways that only she would know.   The sad thing is this, my friend goes to the grave side ever day of the old covenant husband because she still in some ways feels bound to him and not totally free.  My friend`s new covenant husband does not understand why his husbandry is not good enough since  she has to go back to the old husband every day.  The husband begins to feel as though he is not really married at all.

See, it is impossible to be IN COVENANT with 2 covenants at the same time as is pointed out in Romans 7:1-4 which parallels, marriage(covenant) to one person, the one who is living.  The Mosaic covenant parallels the old husband, dying with the dead body of Yeshua.  All throughout history there was only EVER one covenant in place at a time.  Let`s go through the covenants; Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and now the Yeshua or Grace Covenant.

What makes this time in history any different? (I am referencing Romans 7:1-4).  This passage speaks of the Law dying with the body of Yeshua.  Does this mean we do not follow the Old Covenant at all, by no means do you forget the memory of your old  dead husband.  But we follow freedom in Yeshua and love toward our fellow man, what Yeshua taught.  Yeshua said a New Covenant (Law/Mitvah) I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you. We will walk in the fullness of the whole Word, Old and New Covenant if we walk in love.  But the difference is, that it is BY THE SPIRIT, not by the letter of the Law.  This is why the first Messianic believers were persecuted according to Rabbi Sa ul (Paul) in Galatians 6:11-18.  It was not that they believed in Yeshua, it was that they were NOT following the Law(Mitvah) as the Pharisees taught it.  This is what brought the persecution from the leaders who taught the Law.  It is also why Messiah was condemned to die by the Sanhedrin in the Chamber of Hewn Stone, because Yeshua did not measure up to what they were teaching. This was the place in History that Abraham offered Isaac, and NO ONE was ever condemned by the Law of the Sanhedrin in this place EVER AGAIN.  The floor was severely damaged when the approx. 30 ton beam fell, ripping the curtain from the Holy of Holies.

Romans 7:4
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Messiah, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

Yeshua says you are a New Covenant Creation in Him.  The Old has passed and the New has come.
Whom the Yeshua has set free is free indeed!
Believe it today, it is real, Yeshua`s power is the true authority that will transform you into His likeness, His image.  It is not by the letter of the Law (Mitvah), but by the Spirit.

Today, do you trust Holy Spirit`s voice or do you trust the Mitvah that you do daily?  You either trust Yeshua or trust yourself.  It is very simple!
Trust Yeshua, as His Powerful Grace, who raised Yeshua from the dead, gives you the power to be transformed, forgiven and SET FREE!  The old husband has no control and is dead.  The new husband is alive and sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding on your behalf TODAY!

**Remember dear readers, that the Law of Moses was always in the coffin (ark= 'arown in Hebrew).  The Mercy Seat where the Blood was placed was ALWAYS ABOVE the Stone Law.  The Law was placed on stone tablets because the Stone Tablets/Law pieces were literally thrown at the people that broke the Law, crushing them, bringing death.
